Is this all in a longer term plan?
For many years almost a decade now I have been wondering if the current state of things has been carefully orchestrated to end in such a mess. I try not to create conspiracy theories and try to block out those items that are cynical. However, my thoughts this year are that all this money in big corporations is being hoarded for after the 2012 election in America. I feel at times a large scale conditioning is taking place where ideals that hurt the most are given extra life to continue and the shipwreck that will be unavoidable brought closer with each passing year. How can all this debt around the world not have any consequence? Will corporations only pump money into economies once they receive special favor from politicians so they can grossly reap returns on the backs of millions who are exploited and suffer? How can it be fair to have all the pain placed on the many for the benefit of a few? When will things pass the tipping point and create such an ugly world where hate and anger split the world into chaos? I see this more and more each passing year and wonder if we are all being tricked by all the noise pollution bombarding us every day. And those rare and special leaders who stand up to try and fight against the waves of corruption that are so entrenched in our world today have little hope as the power elite have decided that it is best to narrow the spectrum until it has only one option that wields so much harm and suffering.
What event will mark the start of the 21st century?
I have been waiting patiently hoping something somewhere will transform the world into recognizing that we are in a new century. It is hard when we have been taught to live such linear lives. I am waiting for the day when each day offers such a random experience that we are free from the past. Interactive television brings exhilarating content that is uninterrupted by commercials and engaging. People truly collaborate creating amazing things with the world and tackle the hardest challenges. Each week builds upon the next with global projects open to millions of inspired activists willing to invest their own effort to leave something bigger than societies of past. Looking at history we know that in previous centuries slaves were utilized to create amazing things like pyramids and other relics. I am convinced that if volunteering was all linked together and once you register as a concerned global citizen in a massive world network of opportunity and governments around the started to create centers where anyone could walk off the street and start getting engaged in projects of massive scale the 21st century could be remembered as the most pivotal on in history. People would spend vast amounts of time creating instead of consuming allowing the global community to collectively reach higher levels. Connecting with knowledge and talent cultivating communities that embrace collaboration and sharing would be so common. Imagine a world where each day offers such a fresh and exhilarating experience you can't wait for the next. Reality that transcends fantasy is where we are at this very moment. All the contrived notions and theories discarded by the dozens each new year with fresh new approaches taking root spreading like wild flowers in fields undamaged by man. I am still hopeful I hope you are too... Happy New Year!
Sipping wine trying to see a way
Is it true? Every year/month/week/day is proving there is no way. All this stuff hanging over mankind can't simply get ignored another four years thank you mother nature for proving time waits for nothing. We may fool ourselves into believing we have dominion over this special gem we call earth yet each passing moment leads us to recognize we will all get discarded and refreshed by something greater more special than all the man made words we were able to create over the past one hundred fifty thousand years. My only wish is that it all ends quickly without much understanding of how it all went so terribly wrong. Were we all captivated by our own invention that we lost sight of our responsibility passed down through the ages? Did the manufactured distraction of the last moments please us so deeply that we were numb to the consequences? Were we just made dull and dumb by all this noise to ever hear the call?
What is experience?
Experience is a very simple thing that passes by most every second of every day. It is so beautifully simple that most discard or don't recognize it's presence. I have learned in my life to create a special antenna that remains stuck in a gather state every moment. It is amazing to reach this place and I am so happy to have been welcomed in to gather and process all the fickle yet infinite incarnations. Whether it is the creaking of an artificial chair on real wood or the garbled passing words of neighbors it opens the mind to create so much. When experience is filled or overloaded with possibility it often can lead many to a singular path but when limited to its rawest form opens the doors to the eternal and unbound.
When the system tries to put you in a box
Throughout my life I have struggled with the dilemma of feeling boxed in and captured in a system whose only goal is to consume and steal away my life. This struggle has at times reached levels where it is just unbearable to allow myself to fall victim to its inhumane and petty desires. In the past my frustration levels would reach a crescendo and eat away at my the fabric of my soul. I still struggle but now have learned that it is much better to recognize the seeds of the frustration and discard them as quickly as they try and take root. I can say that since tuning out of the infomercial media world it is much easier to be more productive and maintain a healthier balance in life. Why fall prey to a machine that only wants to sell you something stealing away your ability to reach your fullest potential. This machine puts thousands if not millions of people in boxes every day forcing them to act on impulse and respond to stimuli that only are revealed to be worthless and often detrimental. Few shows on the television encourage you to explore and gain knowledge in whatever way your passions dictate but rather try and create a diverse web that traps even the most refined intellects. The whole purpose of modern media is to mesmerize the masses into a false sense of reality comforting and nurturing beliefs that if and only if you have enough money you will be happy. Fortunately I have been both poor and relatively rich and prefer to be somewhere in between always cherishing the lessons each extreme has taught. Money does provide comfort but also in turn cheapens life down to require external stimulation. I guess that is why most broadcasts today try and stimulate your external desires and wishes while stealing away the very critical internal awareness that slowly grows with or without our attention.
This is the beginning not the end game
How short sighted all of this chatter and confusion. It is actually amusing to see it on such a wide yet narrow spectrum starving the world of its last hopes of sustainability. I don't believe one word from all the different views so narrow it is quite amusing. Yes the buffalo are heading towards the cliffs yet again and in a few years those who see it will have the loudest laugh not heard in hundreds of years. When 2012 begins it is the beginning of a new game not the end of one. Countries who understand what debt is will start to dominate world events and countries who strain their populations with inequity and hardship will learn some basic truths. Governments that represent the few cannot govern the many for long. We have heard all the tired old statements for the last 40 years and generation after generation knows that this last game will be one that transforms the world. It has only provided a preview in 2011 and throughout this entire decade finally people will recognize their power to make fantastic changes collectively with very small steps. Finally history has no bearing on the future of our world!
What is the greatest prize in life?
Is life that simple where it all boils down to a man made prize that many view as something of value? In my opinion life is much more than prizes and gifts it is the richness of experience we all are welcomed to. Unfortunately these experiences today are so manufactured and controlled that the consequence of the experience is far too expensive to want to participate. It is much better to go with a few friends to nature and find a much richer experience. Listen to the sounds and senses that we've been numbed to and unlock the fullness of existence that has been cheaply replaced with artificial controlling and contrived things. The smell of freshly fallen snow or rain that persists in our life is replaced with the fad of the day, the daily sunrise and sunsets each unique in their expression of the spectrum of our signature on life replaced with traffic reports and nonsense. Why spend time living some contrived reality when reality is yours and yours only. Who cares how it's painted, it is all singular and infinite with incredible possibility. If you tune in your senses and fine tune your faculties of perception you will catch the most personal and enriching things that could never be mass marketed. What is marketed to the masses are those things that limit and control where you if you remain true to yourself will be open to creating your own unique signature towards the spectrum of eternity.
The Global Humanists will take control
Socialists, capitalists watch out here come the global humanists. We are more than a political party we are the 99% ready to cleanse the 1% rule by those who think they can control things. As you can see very small steps by all of us can impact the entire world. Watch and learn how easy it is when your number one priority is not money or power but rather historic and fundamental long term change.
Challenge yourself to find deeper meaning
I am amazed that in ten or so short years the Internet has turned into a filtered place filled with sites that only want to sell you something. Sites like www.stumbleupon.com hold promise in opening up the web to a much greater experience. But if you look at all communications they have fallen into the hands of a few media conglomerates. Independent news and media was strangled at the turn of the century in my belief to try and catch as many people knowing we are all creatures of habit. Most people probably surf the web looking at a handful of sites on a daily basis. I like to start my day whenever possible at sites like stumbleupon.com and reddit.com to look at new and exciting things. I hope you challenge yourself to find deeper meaning and more useful information every day.
